I got an email today from one of my Summer brides sending me a photograph of her dress.  It’s just a snapshot of her in the bridal salon with the dress on and she’s beaming.  I remember my own Ah ha moment when I realized that I’d found it.  This is the dress that was meant for me.  Funny though in my case, I bought a sample gown off the rack and changed so many things on it.  It became a completely different dress really.  I’m sure that my requests were a nightmare for the seamstress.   To this day I love the dress and yes, at this point twenty years later, perhaps it would be considered vintage.
